   Hi,
   I use the standalone OC4J 9.0.3 installation and my ant task executes a variant of the command-line options you pass to admin.jar to deploy/undeploy/restart (the ”-restart” switch to restart the application alone, not the whole container):
   <java classname=”com.evermind.client.orion.OrionConsoleAdmin”

   classpathref=”deployment.classpath”>
   <arg value=”ormi_deployment_server_url” />
   <arg value=”deployment_username” />
   <arg value=”deployment_password” />
   <arg value=”-deploy” />
   <arg value=”-file” />
   <arg value=”application_ear_name” />
   <arg value=”-deploymentName” />
   <arg value=”application_name” />
   </java>

   Where “deployment.classpath” includes oc4j.jar (which contains the class referenced in the classname attribute) (I also include the other J2EE jars: j2ee.jar broken up as ejb.jar etc etc, just so that exception traces work at my end if the command fails). The “ormi_deployment_server_url” would be ormi://<name_of_machine_running_the container>:<port_if_not_23791>/. The “deployment_username” and “deployment_password” would usually be ‘admin’ and the associated password you set up when you installed the container. Hope this helps.

   I am using the same statements when testing on a local oc4j server, but it doesn’t work when you want to deploy to a remote oc4j/9ias server.

   Hello, what does the refer to?

   Also, is the argument specify the application name as you would enter when you deploy using OEM?

   Thanks!!

   It does not look like the post took the copy and pasted arguments

   ${name} – Application Name?

   E:ora9ias – what is this referring to?

   Olaf has a better explanation on his blog: http://www.orablogs.com/olaf/archives/000363.html. As you can see E:ora9ias should have been e:ora9as, which is the remote ias home. And ${name} is the application name.

   Ok, backslashes aren’t displayed, there should be one between the e: and ora9ias.
